Why does my Caddy suffer from clutch judder?
My 2008 Volkswagen Caddy violently judders whilst pulling away, especially in reverse. I have been advised that it is likely to be clutch judder and is related to the dual mass fly wheel.
Should I rectify the problem immediately or can it be driven like this for a couple of months. And how much should I expect to pay for a repair?

Replacing a clutch and DMF at a VW dealer could cost you £1500. Less at Mr Clutch or similar. Better to fix sooner rather than later in case the vibration damages the transmission input shaft bearing.
